  • Have you recorded your tracks, but can't get the mix to sound right? Professional mixing makes all the difference between something that sounds like a demo and a polished, professional-sounding track. Blue Bear Sound's Bruce Valeriani is one of Ottawa's best mix engineers and has done numerous mixing projects for bands all across North America and even the UK. And Blue Bear Sound has very special mixing rates for bands with homegrown tracks. You can hear the difference for yourself at www.bluebearsound.com/mixing, or for more information visit the studio website at www.bluebearsound.com.

Expect to hear the least radio-friendly songs in the entire capital region, and indeed: all of Canada. Be humbled by the technical prowess and grandiose solos of four master musicians! Be dazzled by their explicit descriptions of French-Language Softcore Pornography and Filthy Scat-Fetishism! Be unnerved by the blatant homoeroticism prevalent throughout every song, lyric, and gesture! Be ROCKED SO F$CKING HARD THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE 3 WEEKS OFF OF WORK TO RECUPERATE. yes friends. it's simply that good. Opening for the Fuzzy Bunny Crew will be local outfit Andy Snap and the Loose Cannons. while not as homoerotic as FBS, they still pack a punch. www.myspace.com/andysnapandtheloosecannons For a preview of what's to come, check out the FBS myspace page.

  • Bass, guitar and a fabulous female lead singer is our band but we are looking for a drummer. You don't have to be an expert. But if you are willing to develop and learn with 3 people who are not only friends but caring people, who never yell or make unreasonable demands on each other, and who like to play music together and gig say once a month, then think about us. Our music is eclectic. The tunes cover a wide range of rock, a bit of jazz and blues, with about 12 original songs so far. I can send you a song list with covers. We are flexible and open to ideas. It's not intricate music but there are stops and changes so it is not mindless drumming. With our originals, you can make your own statement, bring you own style, try new things. We are open to that. Even our covers - we don't expect precise copying. Some originality and personality of your own helps. We have a place to reheasrse with drums too. We actually rehearse together. Practice you do on your own. Don't be intimidated. We are kind and would really like to find a drummer who will stick with us. We have been together for some time. Please email Harold at for more info. Thanks!
    solartj@rogers.com

  • Are you the drummer we are looking for? Local indie alt-rock band still needs a creative and independent spirit to round out the group. We're a mature band that generally avoids the bar scene, plays mostly festivals, and has some unique ideas for promoting ourselves in the future. Also, we have a deal where you can be paid for every gig if that's an issue. Age doesn't matter - as long as you can get yourself around and have pro gear - but attitude and commitment really do. You can check out some of the material at www.myspace.com/kinnexacross and if you are interested please email. Thanks!

  • Looking for a bassist into post-metal/-rock like Isis, Pelican, Neurosis, Red Sparrowes, Mogwai, Russian Circles etc. We've got drums, two guitars, and plenty of material already, we just need you. You should be pretty competent, have decent equipment, and be able to get it to weekly rehearsal in Ottawa South. No problem if you're in another band as long as you can do your homework. We're making a record; touring is not in the cards; an occasional gig in Ottawa or elsewhere might be. 25-35 preferred but younger might be okay if you're reliable and realize that this is not a potential career option.

  • Looking For Female Rhythm Guitarist/Backup Singer We are a 5-piece band that practices in Orleans. Our rhythm guitarist is moving out of town and we need a replacement. We are a group of more-or-less middle aged people with families, jobs and commitments but we love to play rock and roll, and we enjoy getting together once a week to jam. We are looking for a female rhythm guitarist and backup singer who fits in with the group. You must be a solid guitarist with experience playing with other musicians and must be able to sing high harmonies with our female lead singer. You also need your own gear and transportation. Our ideal person knows when it is time to be serious and practice but also knows that the underlying reason for being in the band is to have fun with our friends. Sense of humor very important. For more info call Greg: home – 613-424-2134, work – 613-995-9822. I am not very good at checking my email and it is not my preferred correspondence method.
